“The best Italian food in Orange County. Happy hour is great! Best Casanova’s martinis.“

“Just ate here today for the first time and the pizza was amazing!! I ordered the bbq chicken and my friend got pepperoni. The crust was insanely delicious and crispy! Cheese to toppings ratio was on point! The mozzarella cheese sticks were also very good! And to top it all off, the customer service was 💯!! Highly recommend!!“

“12/7/22. In town for a seminar and this restaurant was recommended. Excellent pizza and excellent price. I'll return Friday and grab lunch again on my way home to San Diego!“

“Great place. Love the Beatles atmosphere. Great music playing.“

“I’ve spent quite a bit of time in Italy, and this is one of the few places where the pizza truly deserves to be called PIZZA!

The dough is perfect — light and airy with beautiful bubbles, and the balance between the crust and toppings is just right. It never gets soggy, and the crust isn’t too thick. What I especially love is that every pizza on the menu has its own distinct flavor and character. They don’t all taste like variations of the same thing.

I’ve tried pretty much every highly recommended pizza place in Orange County, including several featured in the Michelin Guide. But after trying them all, this pizzeria is still my favorite!“

“Amazing pizza and atmosphere! Can’t wait to come back again!“

“butter and cream pizza is such a cute local spot and definitely one you need to check out! i love that they use all organic ingredients and are seed oil free, which makes enjoying the food even better. the burrata pepperoni and honey pizza was so good, with the perfect combination of creamy burrata, savory pepperoni, and sweet honey. their ranches are also amazing and pair so well with the pizza. they have such a wide selection of cookies for every sweet tooth, and the dirty sodas are so refreshing, especially in this heat. definitely recommend stopping by, trying a little bit of everything, and supporting this local small business!
shoutout to abbie (i might be spelling it wrong) for being so kind and welcoming!! the owner Natalie is extremely talented and hardworking i can’t wait to come back for more!!
🌟IT IS GRAB & GO NOT A SIT DOWN PLACE🌟“

“We have recently moved into the area and heard about 7 Hills from our new neighbors. We decided to try it. We arrived about 5:30 and were able to order quickly and find a seat. Good thing we did because, before long, the line was out the door. The hospitality was excellent and the food and beer were delicious!!! It is so wonderful to have a neighborhood spot like this that the neighbors support. We provided our own Angels viewing, but the Phillies were on their TV! It will definitely become one of our new haunts!!!“

“We tried your pizza tonight and we love it!! Three different pizzas and they were all perfect. We will definitely be ordering from here again ❤️“

“Love Neapolitan! Great service. Terrific selection. Our pizza was so tasty - crust and light sauce Yum! The Caprese Buratta was fresh and creamy. Fabulous, decadent dessert options. Very nice wine and beer list. Will return. Definitely recommend.“

“Amazing venue, Great beers and pizza! A must do if you are in the area!“

“An incredible menu—and drink menu! Try the Indian Summer, the Splash Zone or the blackberry infused Houdini! You will definitely want to try their burrata and heirloom tomato starter. Their sourdough ciabatta, freshly grilled, is the freshest, chewiest, bread anywhere. When the simplest items are this outstanding, you will appreciate the salads and entrees.“

“great food!!!! reasonable pricing!!! please experience their food!! nice people fast service!! love this place!!!“

“Best pizza I have ever had! The crust was absolutely delicious and had the best crunch, the dough wasn’t doughy at all and was so, so delicious. You can tell they’re using very high quality, fresh ingredients and the flavor profiles he built for these pizzas are so good! The wowie sauce added even more flavor and somehow made a perfect pizza even better!
The ordering process may be slightly unconventional but it is EXTREMELY SIMPLE. You’re literally given step by step instructions on how to order and it couldn’t be easier.
My Mom picked up our order and couldn’t stop talking about how wonderful her experience was and how much she enjoyed the owner.
Super stoked we found this place and absolutely can’t wait to go back!“

“First time ordering from Porky's Pizza. And...Wow!! Excellent!! One of the very best pizzas we've had in Orange County since moving from New York! Crust is fabulous and pizza topping outstanding! Will be ordering many more pizzas from Porky's. Would highly recommend.Also, very clean and friendly service. Five-plus stars for sure!!!“

“So, my partner and I have a couple of pizza spots we like to hit up, while in the area. The other popular one told us it was a 45-minute wait, while this spot was a much quicker 20 minute wait, big plus there! The customer service was solid; everyone was friendly and chill.
We were really craving New York-style pizza, but honestly, this place was okay, good not terrible but also not quite NY style. The wings, on the other hand, were a highlight: big, juicy, and the sauce was spicy enough to kick it up a notch. Overall, I’d definitely recommend the wings they did the job and then some. The pizza was decent, but the wings really stole the show for me.“

“There are multiple businesses in this small neighborhood center. It would be hard to describe them all. They include food eateries, automotive shops, dance studio, marital arts studio, nail salon, etc. Parking does get fairly full on weekends due to the sports bar pizza place.“

“We enjoyed a lovely dinner & dessert! The vibe was great; definitely could use a fan for airflow though! lol

Staff was friendly and hepful! Alex, our waitress, was absolutely wonderful! Knowledgeable, kind, and professional! :)“

“Yummy best by far in town“

“Always have had a great experience here, and I have going here for over 40 years!!!“

“Good zaaa! I was hungry and in the neighborhood so I checked it out. Got to know Nicole the manager she was super bomb bomb bomb and told me where to go so I got it. Thanks again Tulik’s Floor Coverings.“

“I use to eat here when I was younger, but they closed down the one where I lived. I didn’t know there was another location, and luckily stumbled upon it while charging my EV car. Bomb.com. Lunch specials are the business - you’re welcome“

“Guys, I dunno what to tell ya... even when they are having a bad or off day, this place is still the spot to go. They never disappoint. 6 of us went in last night around 7:00 PM and it appeared there was only one person serving the floor and one bartender serving the bar area. Our server, Leslie C, did not make it even seem that way. She took great care of us and was keeping us informed along the way as well. I have a lot of health concerns and they were very helpful, knowledgeable, and kind about it. More servers like her. She deserves a raise, y'all!“

“After living in the area for ~20 years I finally discovered Bella Roma last year and my only complaint is I wish I knew about it sooner!! This place is loverly. Been around for a long time and for good reason. The staff are friendly and welcoming and clearly care about their craft. The food is always flavorful and always fresh; I once ordered the eggplant appetizer for delivery and burnt my tongue! Not too badly though, I was still able to enjoy it :) Not much seating inside but you can certainly eat there if you want; I typically opt for takeout or delivery. Favorite items include the veggie pizza and chicken parmesan, but I’ve never been disappointed with anything on the menu.“

“Adamantium Steel Band!! Great Music!!🎉🎉🎉“

“We want to thank CPK for honoring Veterans today. They gave a delicious complementary supper tonight with a nice menu. The food was delicious. The staff was excellent. Service was fast. Manager thanked the veterans and gave us a handshake and a flag. He even had a table set for the missing soldiers , sailors, and Marines. Happy that everyone in restaurant was having a great time. Staff was all friendly and excellent. We eat here about ever other month. Very affordable, great pizzas and pastas“

“Excellent experience! Excellent food! Excellent service! Fantastic little owner owned/operated Northern Italian cuisine restaurant. We will return!“

“Excellent service. Great pizza and pasta.“

“The pizza from her is OUTSTANDING!! Time and time again we get take out from here and just enjoy it so much. I always build our own pizza and they get the ingredients spot on. Couldn’t recommend this place higher…… go enjoy some!

“The breakfast at Z pizza is surprising great. The food is very healthy, presented beautifully. It’s a unique experience. And the coffee is very good“

“This restaurant has quickly become one of my top picks! The food is exceptional—each dish is crafted with high-quality ingredients and bursting with flavor. Their drink menu is equally impressive, offering a delightful selection at reasonable prices.​ The staff and new owner are warm and attentive, always ready to offer recommendations and ensure a pleasant dining experience. Adding to the charm, they feature live music that perfectly complements the atmosphere—ideal for both lively dancing and relaxed listening.​ Whether you're looking for a casual night out or a special celebration, this place is a must-visit.“

“Sal’s is a class A establishment. I messed up my order (grandma pie with breadcrumb and onion + sausage pinwheel and cannoli + black and white cookies) I ordered for pick up when it should have been delivery. The owner delivered the order himself. The grandma pie was on point and the sausage pinwheel was right! Waiting to taste the desert but im sure it will be great. Thank you Sal’s“

“Hello blaze team good morning, I never write reviews but yesterday I stopped by with my son and the young gentleman taking my order was just so sweet and helpful definitely made our evening better with his kind curiosity. Such a positive young man. I wish I got his name but he was the one with the big piercing in his nose lol. Will definitely be going back. Food was 10/10.“

“Visited the El Segundo store. Outstanding pizza. As good as the best pizza I’ve had in NYC. (I’ve had a lot of NYC Pizza) Staff are really friendly and the manager goes above and beyond to make sure every customer is happy. Highly recommend.“

“Went in with 12 kiddos from the nearby elementary school. I was greeted and helped by Dennis initially and could not have been treated any better. He was very accommodating and helpful with ordering. K assisted next and got all the food ready in great time. Highly recommend! This team made the party happen! Very thankful for their help.“

“Always a great time at Santora’s!!! Fantastic bartenders and friendly customers!!! Perfect place to catch the game!👍👍“

“Pizza is Great! Loved the fast Service.“

“Great food! Great service! Awesome people! Love it!“

“Tasty, delicious food every time. They are consistent. I especially like their house salad with ranch dressing, free pizza bread, garlic bread, chicken parmigiana pasta with meat sauce. These are my faves here. I love their pizza too.“

“Clean and fast with plenty of out door seating. By from some of the best pizza I’ve had. If we’re ever in Laguna again I’ll be sure to stop!“

“I just picked up my curbside groceries. The lettuce and spinach was fresh and beautiful. My peppers, tomatoes etc looked fresher than the market. I bought flour and yeast which is so difficult to find and eggs and milk. I will definitely order again. I would very highly recommend them. Thank you for providing this service!“

“I didn't expect this Gigantic calzone and I'm almost embarrassed to say that I ate it all but it was so delicious I just couldn't help my self. Such a friendly staff i got the meatlovers on her recommendation. Such a great view just across the beach. A perfect way to end a beach long beach day.“

“Last night, we hosted a work event with more than 120 attendees, and we truly could not have asked for a better venue. We rented out the entire space, and there was more than enough room for everyone to enjoy the event comfortably.

Casey and his team were phenomenal from start to finish. The staff went above and beyond, providing exceptional service throughout the evening. The food was absolutely delicious—compliments to the chef for an outstanding job in the kitchen!

Thank you all for helping make our event such an amazing experience. We look forward to coming back and seeing you again soon!“
